Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fabric obtained by thermosetting and having a shape stability and/or a water resistance, and a core-sheath composite yarn used in the same.
- a fabric obtained by using a composite yarn having a core-sheath cross-sectional shape (hereinafter referred to as a normal core-sheath composite yarn) in which a low-melting polymer is used as a sheath component and an intermingled point of a warp and a weft is fused and fixed through heat treatment has been used for various purposes.
- an inverted core-sheath composite yarn As a fabric formed of a core-sheath composite yarn in which a low-melting polymer is used as a core component (hereinafter referred to as an inverted core-sheath composite yarn), only some examples are disclosed.
- an inverted core-sheath composite yarn is employed in which an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is used as a core component and a polyamide component as a sheath component, respectively.
- 11,006/1992 discloses the use of a false-twisted yarn formed of an inverted core-sheath composite fiber in which a low-melting polymer is arranged as a core component for developing a sports wear having an improved abrasion-resistant meltability.
- the former fabric is obtained by bending and heat-setting. Unless the heat treatment conditions are strictly controlled, the texture of the fabric becomes poor, or the bent portion is weakly fixed. Products except a product having a wavy uneven surface were not applied to any special use.
- the latter fabric is used to develop clothing which is not broken owing to abrasion by sliding or the like.
- this composite yarn is not particularly effective at all for moldability and the like of a fabric or clothing.
- the coating with these resins gives a hard texture or some resins cause a trouble such as an offensive odor in heat-molding or the like.
- migration of a dye is liable to occur on the coating surface. For example, in an umbrella which is left on a rear window of a vehicle, a dye migrates soon so that the color of the umbrella becomes uneven or a print pattern becomes unclear. Such fatal defects as a product occur.
- the present inventors have considered that quite a useful final product is obtained by applying the shape stability of the core-sheath composite yarn to a specific use.
- a fabric having an excellent surface smoothness can be obtained by heat-treating a woven or knitted fabric obtained by using a covering yarn formed of the core-sheath composite yarn and a urethane elastic yarn under increased pressure.
- a fluid resistance to air or water of a wear surface decreases a speed in a swimming race, a skiing race, a snow board race, a bicycle race, a speed skating or the like.
- a method has been so far known in which a urethane resin is coated on the surface of the fabric or a film is laminated thereon to improve a smoothness.
- the conventional fabric is poor in moisture permeability and air permeability because of a resin layer or a film layer having few interstices, and involves problems that it has a high density and a great thickness. For this reason, a fabric which has a lighter weight, a better moisture permeability and a better air permeability is deemed preferable as a sports material. Thus, it has been required to obtain a fabric which is excellent in a smoothness and a water resistance without conducting resin coating or film lamination.
- an embossed pattern having a durability can be formed by embossing a fabric made of the core-sheath composite yarn or the like.
- embossing in general, a hard engraved heat roll and a soft roll combined therewith are rotated under appropriate increased pressure, and a fabric is introduced between these rolls, making it possible to easily apply the uneven pattern to the fabric.
- the form tends to become unclear, and a conventional fabric formed of usual polyester yarns lacks a durability, and the raised and recessed pattern easily decreases or disappears through washing or the like.
- a fiber has been so far known which exhibits a shape stability or the like by fusing a low-melting portion on the surface through heat treatment.
- a fiber is problematic in that a texture is hardened as mentioned above, and its use has been limited.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide quite a useful final product which gives specific function and effect based on a shape stability of a specific core-sheath composite yarn by applying this core-sheath composite yarn to a specific usage and which could not be formed by using the conventional core-sheath composite yarn.
- the present invention is concerned with a core-sheath composite yarn formed of different types of polymers in which a softening point of a core component as measured by thermomechanical analysis of JIS K 7196 is at least 20°C lower than a softening point of a sheath component, and the core component is formed of a substantially amorphous polymer that does not provide a melting point peak as measured by differential thermal analysis of conducting heating in a nitrogen atmosphere at a rate of temperature rise of 10°C/min (hereinafter referred to as an "amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn").
- the present invention is concerned with a fabric, an artificial flower and a wig obtained by using such an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn and having a shape stability. Since the substantially amorphous polymer having a low
- crystallinity is used as a core component in such an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn, softening and solidification can reversibly be repeated even in repeating heating and cooling, and setting properties such as a flatness of a yarn through heating under increased pressure and the like are very good.
- the present invention is concerned with an embossed fabric having an excellent shape stability which is obtained by pressing an engraved heat roll on a fabric formed of multifilaments of thermoplastic synthetic fibers in which multifilaments composed of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarns are used in the whole or a part of warps and/or wefts, and a sum of textile cover factors in warp and weft directions is within the range of from 800 and 2,500.
- a pattern is not formed on the basis of the uneven form of the fabric through heat-pressing, but a raised pattern drawn on a heat roll is formed on a fabric by pressing a sheath component formed of an amorphous polymer having a low softening point through a hard heat roll of an embossing machine and changing and increasing the filament diameter thereof. Accordingly, a durable embossed pattern is provided.
- the present invention is concerned with a heat-resistant fabric at least a part of which is formed of an inverted core-sheath composite yarn in which a melting point of a core component is lower than that of a sheath component, characterized in that the fabric is shaped in a flat state by conducting heat-setting at a temperature of more than a softening point of the core component and less than a melting point of the sheath component under increased pressure.
- Such a fabric is a water-resistant fabric having no interstices of intersecting points of yarns constituting the same.
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of a wig of the present invention as observed from the inside;
- Fig. 2 is a side view of its outside;
- Fig. 3 is an enlarged view showing a surface of a regular or composite filament of the wig of the present invention which is used in another Example;
- Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view showing a section of a coating body of the wig of the present invention which is used in still another Example.
- the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn of the present invention is a core-sheath composite yarn in which a softening point of a core component as measured by thermomechanical analysis of JIS K 7196 is at least 20°C lower than that of a sheath component.
- the composite yarn in which the core component is formed of a substantially amorphous polymer that does not provide a melting point peak as measured by differential thermal analysis of conducting heating in a nitrogen atmosphere at a rate of temperature rise of 10°C/min is especially preferably a core-sheath composite yarn in which a sheath component is formed of a polyester, and a core component is formed of a copolyester-type polymer having a glass transition point of from 60 to 80°C and a softening point of 200°C or less.
- terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol are used as main components.
- a copolymerizable component one or more types of known dicarboxylic acid components selected from oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and diphenyl ether dicarboxylic acid are used as an acid component, and one or more types of known diol components selected from 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, neopentylglycol, propylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, hexamethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyalkylene glycols and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol are used as a diol component. It is advisable to use the copo
- the above-mentioned copolymerizable component may be used by being appropriately selected to give a desired softening point unless impairing a spinnability and a processability.
- a copolyester obtained by using terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol as main components and isophthalic acid as a copolymerizable component is preferable because it can be obtained industrially at low costs and stably and has good polymer properties.
- the amount of the isophthalic acid component is preferably between 20 and 40 mol%, and the core/sheath ratio of the core-sheath composite yarn is between 5/1 and 1/5, especially preferably between 3/1 and 1/2 in terms of a volume ratio.
- the sectional shape of the composite yarn may be any of circular, elliptical, polygonal and star-like shapes.
- the core and the sheath may be arranged concentrically or eccentrically. In general, it is advisable to use a composite yarn having a circular sectional shape in which a core and a sheath are arranged concentrically.
- the substantially amorphous polymer having a low crystallinity is used as a core component in such a composite yarn, softening and solidification can reversibly be repeated even in repeating heating and cooling, and setting properties such as a flatness of a yarn through heating under increased pressure and the like are very good.
- the fabric formed upon using such a composite yarn has the following advantages.
- Each of these three types of the raw yarns was used as a weft of a fabric in which a regular polyester raw yarn of 50 d/24 f containing 100-% terephthalic acid as an acid component was used as a warp.
- Plain weave fabrics (A1, B1, C1) were produced such that densities of a weft and a warp as finished were 110 yarns/inch and 94 yarns/inch, respectively.
- the resulting fabrics were subjected to the same finishing and dyeing (jet dyeing machine) under the same conditions as in obtaining an ordinary polyester plain weave fabric.
- the fabric (A1) of the present invention and the fabric (C1) being the usual polyester fabric could be the uniform dyed fabrics.
- the fabric (B1) in which the core-sheath composite fiber having the low-melting component as the sheath was used as a weft dyed spots were given, and wrinkles remained, providing a bad appearance.
- the thus-obtained dyed fabric was subjected to usual water repellent finishing using a fluorine-type water repellent, and to heat-treatment (calendering) at 200°C and a pressure of 35 kg/cm 2 .
- a water resistance was measured immediately after this procedure and after 10 washings.
- the fabric (A1) in accordance with the present invention had a soft texture and a high hydraulic pressure resistance, and could be used as an umbrella fabric.
- the fabric (B1) showed a higher hydraulic pressure resistance than the usual polyester fabric (C1), but its value was unsatisfactory in the use for an umbrella fabric or the like. Further, wrinkles formed by dyeing remained, and the texture was hard. Thus, it was not a practical one.
- Each of these three types of the raw yarns was used as a weft of a fabric in which a regular polyester raw yarn of 50 d/48 f containing 100-% terephthalic acid as an acid component was used as a warp.
- Plain weave fabrics (A2, B2, C2) were produced such that densities of a warp and a weft as finished were 175 yarns/inch and 105 yarns/inch respectively.
- the resulting fabrics were subjected to the same finishing and dyeing (jet dyeing machine) under the same conditions as in obtaining an ordinary polyester plain weave fabric. Subsequently, the thus-obtained dyed fabrics were subjected to the usual water repellent finishing using a fluorine-type water repellent.

- a method for producing a woven or knitted fabric using these fibers include a method in which a covering yarn is produced wherein a urethane elastic yarn is used as a core yarn and an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn as a sheath yarn, respectively, and a woven or knitted fabric is formed using the same, a method in which a woven or knitted fabric is formed by using an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn and a urethane elastic yarn at the same time, a method in which a woven or knitted fabric is formed using a combined yarn of an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn and a urethane elastic yarn.
- this covering yarn When employing a covering yarn obtained by using a urethane elastic yarn as a core yarn and an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn as a sheath yarn, this covering yarn can preferably be produced by a usual method.
- the winding of the sheath yarn in covering may be either single winding or double winding. Further, such a combined yarn can be used in a woven fabric or a knitted fabric, and a method for producing a woven or knitted fabric is not limited.
- a known method can preferably be used, and a desired shape of a woven or knitted fabric can be selected in view of a shape stability and an elasticity required.
- Specific examples thereof include an ordinary combined stitch of a warp and a weft using an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn and a urethane elastic yarn or an ordinary combined weave thereof, and a knitted texture consisting of a warp texture of an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn and a weft texture of a urethane elastic yarn.
- a combined finished yarn of an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn and a urethane elastic yarn can also be produced by a known method. Specific examples thereof include a method in which a finished yarn formed of a composite yarn is combined with a urethane elastic yarn, and a method in which a composite yarn is combined with a urethane elastic yarn, and the combined yarn is false-twisted to form a finished yarn. Further, such a composite combined yarn may be formed into a woven or knitted fabric, and a method for producing the same is not limited.
- the fabric having the surface smoothness in the present invention is one obtained by heat-treating the above-obtained woven or knitted fabric under increased pressure to make smooth the surface thereof.
- the above-mentioned treatment is conducted to form the section of the composite yarn into a flat shape to decrease swelling of the surface in the woven or knitted fabric and to fill interstices.
- the heat treatment under increased pressure can be conducted by an ordinary method such as calendering or the like.
- the heating temperature in this heat treatment under increased pressure is between 150°C and 200°C, preferably between 160°C and 180°C. Since the core is a component having a low melting point and a low crystallinity in the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn, the sectional shape of the fiber can be changed at a low temperature, and the heat deterioration of the urethane elastic yarn in the heat treatment step is markedly decreased. Thus, it is desirous.
- the heating is conducted at a temperature of higher than 200°C, the heat deterioration of the urethane elastic yarn occurs, and the core component is exposed outside by the melting of the sheath component of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn to impair the texture of the fabric. Thus, it is undesirous. Further, in the heat treatment at less than 150°C under increased pressure, the shape of the yarn is not satisfactorily changed, so that no sufficient smoothness is obtained.
- a combined finished yarn was formed under the conditions shown in Table 4 using the above-mentioned composite yarn and a urethane elastic yarn of 20d. Draft of an elastic yarn 3.0 times Twist number 5,000 T/M Yarn speed 300 m/min Treatment temperature 160°C
- a tricot knitted fabric was produced in a usual manner using the above-mentioned combined yarn.
- the elastic knitted fabric produced by the method in each of Examples 3 to 5 was calendered at a heating temperature of 170°C and a pressure of 700 mmH2O, and the section and the surface of the resulting fabric was observed using an electron microscope.
- the section of the composite yarn constituting the thus-obtained fabric was changed into a flat shape, and the interstices of the fabric were filled, providing an excellent surface smoothness. Further from the photograph of the plane surface, it was found that the core-sheath structure of the composite yarn was maintained, the core component was not exposed outside, and the composite yarns were not fused with each other. Accordingly, the texture of the fabric was not impaired in spite of the water resistance.

- the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn is used in the whole or a part of a warp group and/or a weft group constituting a fabric.
- the ratio is relatively low. Even in this case, it is used at a ratio of 25% (weight ratio). When it is less than 25%, a shape stability is poor, making it impossible to achieve the object of the present invention.
- the warp group or the weft group is naturally arranged uniformly, and a combined weave is substantially preferable.

- the amount (weight ratio) of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn occupied in the warp group is at least equal to or preferably larger than the amount (weight ratio) of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn in the weft group.
- the characteristics of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn are used well, and this is mainly arranged in the warp or weft group to adapt to the pleat lines to increase a degree of retention of pleats formed in a woven fabric.
- Examples of the filament yarn to be combined with a mono- or multi-filament yarn formed of an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn include a mono- or multi-filament yarn of a polyamide filament or a polyester filament which is ordinarily used in a fabric, and a finished yarn thereof.

- the dipping method is a method in which a pleated fabric is dipped in hot water, and the residual angle of the fold is visually observed. Specifically, a pleaded fabric or product is dipped in hot water of 70°C containing a 0.2-% nonionic penetrating agent for 30 minutes, and then dried with air or using a drier. Subsequently, the folds are opened on a press after the drying, and the fabric or product in this state is steamed for 30 seconds. Thereafter, the pleat state is compared with that before dipping. Or, the folds are estimated using a remaining fold measuring device called "Crease Master". In this Example, the former was used.
- the grades are as follows. Grade 5 ... ... Folds are exactly in the same state before and after dipping. Grade 4 ... ... The height of the fold after dipping is lower than that before dipping. Grade 3 ... ... The head of the fold disappears, and only the fold line remains. Grade 2 ... ... The fold line slightly remains. Grade 1 ... ... The fold completely disappears. In the art, Grades 3 and 4 are deemed acceptable.
- % indicates an elongation given when the fabric is placed horizontally
- minus (-) means a shrunk state as compared with a state before measurement.
- the fabric according to the present invention can improve the shape retention by 1 or 2 grades owing to the properties provided by the fabric although subjected to the same pleating.
- a core component of an amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn used as a fabric material of an artificial flower is preferably an olefinic polymer besides the above-mentioned copolyester.
- polyethylene, polypropylene or a copolymer of ethylene and propylene is preferable.
- the sheath component of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn is preferably polyethylene terephthalate, 6-nylon or 6,6-nylon. It is not necessarily limited thereto. Other polyester or polyamide components are available.
- the fabric material of the artificial flower it is advisable to use a fabric containing at least 10% by volume of the above-described amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn.
- the amount is less than 10% by volume, the shape stability is hardly obtained, and it is undesirous.
- a polyester or nylon having a softening point of 220°C or more is preferable.
- the above-mentioned fabric is used as a material, subjected to a usual refining step without conducting melamine resin coating, then printed, cut and heat-pressed for forming a pattern to obtain a desired artificial flower.
- the method is not necessarily limited thereto.
- the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn is used in an amount of at least 10% by volume in the artificial flower of the present invention, a good shape stability can easily be provided. Further, the thickness of the material and the delicate hardness thereof given when it is touched with hands can be controlled well by the thickness of the raw yarn, the filament number, the volume ratio of the core and the sheath, and the ratio of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn. Further, since the coating of the melamine resin is not needed, the problems such as fusion of the material by heat-pressing, occurrence of an offensive odor and the like are not posed, and the procedure can be shortened.
- Example of the present invention is specifically described below. The following three types of raw yarns were prepared.
- Each of these raw yarns (a7, b7 and c7) was used as a weft, and a regular polyester yarn of 50 d/48 f containing 100-% terephthalic acid as an acid component was used as a warp.
- Plain weave fabrics (A7, B7, C7) were produced such that densities of a warp and a weft as finished were 175 yarns/inch and 105 yarns/inch, respectively.
- the resulting fabrics were refined by the same step under the same conditions as in obtaining an ordinary polyester plain weave fabric.
- the plain fabric (A7) is an example of the present invention in which the raw yarn (a7) corresponding to the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn was used as a weft.
- the plain weave fabrics (B7, C7) were both the same comparative samples free from the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn. At this stage, only the plain weave fabric (C7) was subjected to melamine resin finishing. Then, the fabric was dyed with quite a light purple, printed for partial coloration, and cut according to a main pedal of an orchid to give 10 pieces of this main pedal. A silicone oil releasing agent was sprayed only to the fabric (C7) subjected to melamine resin finishing. Further, the 10 pieces were overlaid at 205°C, and the pedals were roughened or warped using a frame press. Finally, water repellent finishing was conducted using a fluorine-type water repellent to obtain three main pedals (Af7, Bf7, Cf7) of an artificial orchid flower, each consisting 10 pieces.
- the artificial flower (Af7) made by the method of the present invention had tension and stiffness, was excellent in a shape stability, touched soft, and was, at a glance, like a natural flower. Meanwhile, the artificial flower (Bf7) was insufficient in tension and stiffness, and had an instable shape retention. Further, in the artificial flower (Cf7), pedals were liable to stick to each other after the heat pressing, and this flower was also problematic in the offensive odor.

- the artificial hairs are formed of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn, and the base net is formed of a regular filament yarn.
- a plurality of artificial hairs are implanted in the base net, and the coating body is sewed on the inside of the base net as required.
- the regular filament of the filament yarn forming the base net is preferably a polymer constituting the sheath component of the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn, and this filament is spun to obtain a regular filament.
- the amorphous inverted core-sheath composite yarn is used in the artificial hairs.
- the shape can easily be applied to the artificial hairs by heat-setting the same at a temperature which is higher than a softening point of a core component and lower than softening point of a sheath component, and this shape can be retained stably. Further, the shape can be changed repeatedly through heat-setting. It is possible to use a composite multifilament yarn in a base net. However, this has no special merit, and it is ordinarily not used.
